I have an intermittent reverse lamp, and when I asked the question, was told that the reverse switch is well known for going fubar, and apparently it is on top of the gearbox, so difficult to do. From the comments made at the time, it seems about 50% of the people on here dont have a reverse lamp HTH

Sorry to jump on you like this but for some reason you cant recieve PM's I noticed you said you are a car sprayer, any idea of the best mastic to hold a new rear spoiler on, and the best source? Cheers Jock Ps ignore any other posts just like this, it was me with the shotgun effect:)

Sorry to mug the post, but in the same vein: Giggle, You say you are a painter, do you know what the best mastic is for holding on rear spoilers?

Halfords quoted two types for me, cant recall what they were , but the lad pulled them off the computer HTH

It may be worth checking the oil level in the auto box, had the same thing on my volvo a while back, they sorted the level and it was fine. Hope its this rather than the rebuild:)

It takes a fair bit of elbow grease to clean all the gunk off, but it comes back to the personal achievement thing. Pisser is, having gone to the trouble of getting someone to mix the paint to the jap paint code, the car has been painted what looks like a non-standard red at some point so the pig wont match anyway:mad: Also forgot about the maidstone meet tomorrow, so may be going to that looking as if I have been in the wars:)

Paint it? is that normal? I was just going to use my magic marker to write Veilside on it, like the other lads :confused:

The new one in a boy racer stylee. What do you think should I leave the gaffa tape? will it add drag?

the guilty party

close up of the gunk

Started the new spoiler today, found a load of dirt and gunk under there. And the water runs out of it like a sponge when you bend it .

I went with a longlife SS system, took the cats out at the same time, sounds and goes much better

bet you she could tell you what shade of lipstick would match it tho :)

shahid, How you doing? I know as I write this that you are going to say "thats a lot of help...not" but, there is a place in mitcham that specialises in performance bits,, unfortunately dont have a name or location. Jock

If thats the way it goes, it will be wanted TT engine. :D

Jonnyz32, That would be much appreciated. I will PM you with my details. Cheers Jock

cheers robtor, The guy I am talking to is one of their suppliers

Paul, To be honest I am not sure on the set up, I know in non injected cars a fuel pump is needed(or gravity fed) and that limits the size of needle jets that you use. On an injected car, I would imagine there is enough capabilitry in the existing pump. As far as I am aware the trouble is not injecting the nos into the mix before WOT. Everything I know about NOS I read here build your own NOS SRRAE, To be honest, my experience of TT's is limited, so I willl bow to your knowledge. I found it more unpredictable than my NA, that is possibly due to the set up of the car I was driving, or indeed my driving. I have looked into the costs, with the 10lb bottle (£70 fill) I am reliably informed that would suffice for 10 x 1/4 mile runs. But the truth of the matter is, I will probably never do a 1/4 mile run. I also would not see me doing nitrous runs up and down croydon high road (though a full chat run through the underpass could be fun). It is all about having the boost there if I want it, and when I want it. 99.9% of the time my NA is enough for me, the NOS is for the 0.1%. I would hazard that very few people on here go balls out in their car that often, I know that I dont in the NA, nor did I on my fireblade. Maybe it is just me.

cheers, Dont suppose you know the part number??

After a with an air gunned security nut (involving me losing my rag with it) I snapped a wheel stud. I have done this before ( I know , once is a mistake, twice is stupid) and the stud was pressed through the back of the hub, does anyone know if its the same on the zed. It was pissing down and the car was up[ on the jack, so I didnt take the time to look too closely? Any help appreciated Cheers Jock

Not neccesarily the driveability at lower speeds, but I want to be able to floor it when I feel like it and not have to worry about whether I am in a straight line (sure the NA steps out a little when you do it, but in my limited experience the TT was downright unpredictable) The reason I thought of NOS is that for the few times I do want flat out, straightline speed, it seems ideal. Like a turbo you can switch on and off if you like, there when you want it, and not if you dont. I discussed the whole range of options with the guy who has offered it, from 50-200 hp needles. To be honest the thing that impressed me was with the 100 kit, it chucks out in the region of an additional 200 lb/ft of torque. Also with the "smaller " kits there is less chance of a major bang in the engine and stops my wallet taking such a humping. As for the incidents, I have heard of similiar and seen it happen on bikes with NOS. TBH anyone who doesnt respect the cannister of (b0ll*cks nremoved) gas in the boot, is asking for it. *edited. stand corrected (paul, did say I didnt know much about it :o )

The Zed Centre will sell you a users manual for about £8 cheers Jock

I think there are a few lightened pulleys available on the market, they seem to be made of alloy rather than the lump of steel that is standardTTZ---- PULLEYS Try these, and they are red!! HTH

Heres a question. I have been offered NOS for my zed. 10lb stainless bottle, twin intake misters, 100bhp needles,all the hosing, switches, valves etc. Fitted to my NA for the princely sum of £900. The price is not an issue. I thought about selling my NA and buying a TT, but would prefer to have the driveability of the NA 90 % of the time and the power of the turbo for the odd traffic light GP, A-road dash etc. So what do you think? My concerns are Reliability Would I want need a traction control (could u use TC with NOS?) Any advice opinion welcome

I filled it in with the name of a guy who was test driving my car, which was up for sale at the time, though never advertised. Would you believe the cheeky man had given me a false name??
